The solution is to geoblock the UK, prohibit sales to UK citizens, and strictly forbid any use of your software by UK citizen anywhere in the world.

Is UK slowly committing a suicide? First leaving the EU, now introducing Stasi-like spying practices on its citizens and royally screwing every small business in the IT?

how are we supposed to identify "Hate Speech"? If someone says something nasty about someone is it hate speech? what if they say it about a group of people? what if they express an opinion about a group of people (like bankers or sailors, or perhaps immigrants from a certain region)? is it bigotry, hate, debate, discourse? this only leads to self-censorship.
